The necessity of Rare Earth Elements (REEs) recycling is crucial to minimizing their supply risk and provide an alternative to greener technologies. Hence, the REEs recovery from NdFeB magnet wastes using cationic extractants ...

Because of variations in environmental conditions, spray-drift field measurements following ISO 22866:2005 involve complicated and time-consuming experiments often with low repeatability. Therefore, simple, repeatable, and ...

Methanogenic archaea enrichment of a granular sludge was undertaken in an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor fed with methanol in order to enrich methylotrophic and hydrogenotrophic methanogenic populations. A ...

Integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) use multiple species from different trophic levels for reducing wastes,
contributing to increase the sustainability of aquaculture. One of the most common IMTA systems consist ...

Cultures of Ulva spp. are currently being used in Integrated Multitrophic Aquaculture (IMTA) as biofiltration systems in fish farms,
both in open and recirculating systems (IMTA-RAS). Ulva ohnoi has been identified as ...
